Work stress has extremely significant consequences to the individual and to the organization (Barling,Kelloway, & Frone, 2005). This study examined the relationship between perceived work stress, burnout,satisfaction at work, and turnover intentions. We hypothesized that a positive relationship would befound between work stress and burnout, and negative relationships would be found between burnoutand satisfaction, and between satisfaction and turnover intentions. The sample included 124 hospitalphysicians. As expected, all our hypotheses were corroborated. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) foundthat beyond the assumed direct relationships, burnout partially mediated between work stress and worksatisfaction, and work satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between burnout and turnoverintentions. The paper reviews the theoretical consequences and suggests ideas for future research.
